Sunrise Recreation and Park District covers approximately 27 square miles and serves three distinct communities: the City of Citrus Heights, Antelope, and Foothill Farms. While the residents of these communities share many similar recreation needs, each community also has its own unique character and recreation priorities. Management and design of the District parks and programs must be responsive to these particular community needs, and still provide for consistent quality and access to recreation resources throughout the District.
The mission of the Sunrise Recreation and Park District is to be responsive to its communities’
needs for an enhanced quality of life and to advocate for positive social interaction by:
Offering a variety of affordable recreation and learning opportunities to individuals of all
ages and abilities,
Providing clean, safe, well‐designed parks and facilities,
Strengthening community image and sense of place,
Supporting economic development,
Promoting health and wellness,
Fostering human development,
Increasing cultural unity,
Protecting environmental resources,
Facilitating community problem solving, and
Collaborating with Community Partners.
